they probably are, and then you'd have to clean/shake them to get the skin out of the gloves. Or maybe not; I'm thinking these look like chainmail and there are spaces where the skins would get caught up in? Usually I boil the nuts with a little bit of baking soda and then toss them on a towel and rub the skins off. I admit I have less and less patience with this method the older I get 
and then I see the price of blanched hazelnuts and think, eh, it's not so bad! Actually the price of any nuts these days!
Edited to add: this method was suggested in one of RLB's books and has always worked for me. I toast the nuts after skinning them....
